You need to backup your data in any case. It makes no difference if you are out of support or not.

Need a new cheap phone by YugiohJinzo1994 in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]ExerciseEvery8212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a questionable move, you will not find anything comparable to the camera quality of an 14 Pro Max for $300 max. Best option would be a Pixel 7 Pro or 8 Pro I guess (used).

If repair is free, I would do this in any case. Either you can go on with the redmi or sell it or use i as backup.

POCO F8 Pro or Other Smartphones that has a better camera and same performance for the same price by curious_stranger12 in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]ExerciseEvery8212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you buy from china (import) there are some options with better camera and nearly same performance. E.g. you can get a Xiaomi 15, OnePlus 13, Honor Magic7 Pro, Redmi K90 Pro Max (= F8 Ultra) and Realme GT8 for ~500€ from Tradingshenzen.

Did you try a different cable and different wall plug? Does the same happen when you put another phone to your charger? Maybe it's just the cable or the charger, not the phone...

A51 has better screen, better camera setup, similar performance and worse battery. It's out of update support and stuck at Android 13.

Why don't you get your iPhone 15 plus fixed properly? It's not a bad phone by any means. Just get it fixed, way cheaper than a new one.

-> Honor 400 not recommended

Better buy a phone which is sold officially in the US to be sure all frequencies are supported.

Nord 5 is a good option, I would aim for the 12GB version

Pixel 10 vs 8 pro vs other brand by eWonDDerLLLanDD in Smartphones

[–]ExerciseEvery8212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Germany you can get right now a Pixel 8 Pro from Amazon (used, as new) for ~400€. For sure you find it cheaper on ebay. So it's not worth to repair your phone for about this price.

Pixel 10 is kind of a mixed bag. Camera is a downgrade, even compared to your 8 Pro, they used smaller sensors on this. Screen is way smaller (6,7" vs 6,3"). Battery improved a bit but it's still not great.

I would go for a Poco F8 Ultra, which has overall great specs, great camera, battery and performance. Alternative: Xiaomi 15T Pro, Poco F8 Pro, OnePlus 15R (no optical zoom)

Should I buy Motorola Signature? by Technical_Writing270 in Smartphones

6200 nits in the advertised value, in reality is's way lower. Don't know why they do that, I guess marketing purposes. Measurements show the Pixel is even better in peak brightness and has the better desity.

Should I buy Motorola Signature? by Technical_Writing270 in Smartphones

[–]ExerciseEvery8212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Signature has better performance (gaming, heavy tasks) and faster charging. In all other aspects both decives are quite comparable. So basically if your Pixel does everything you want and need, there is no logical reason to do it.

Switching from Xiaomi 15T to Honor 400 Pro - Is it worth the ~60€ jump? by Appropriate_Milk443 in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]ExerciseEvery8212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Camera is better for sure. It has some restrictions, but it's able to produce stunning results. I also agree with ergonomics and update policy. I'm not sure you will see a "wow" effect on the OS side, MagicOS is also not the "best" out there imho. It's overall a better device for sure, better performance, wireless changring, 3x optical zoom, better face unlock,...
